I think this isn't very attractive for smugglers with NY the system of lolwuts, Z21 a bottleneck from it's entry over to the gate in Alaska and there again a bottleneck at the gate exit. One could argument to take the route over California->Texas->Minnesota->New Hampshire->Alaska, but that's not worth the time/money, especially with people watching who the eff enters Hampshire these days. They could easily fly up to the jump hole to Hampshire. 5.000 Credits per unit as base price are a bit too high for it, I guess. You don't even have a ressource for the way back.
The only activity this will create is people with transport cloaks like Sasapinjic during low-pop-time. I guess most people will just keep rolling their other contraband runs, as they aren't that dangerous (no bottlenecks) and are more profitable with cardamine/slaves with a price of 500~ credits per unit.
Sorry for sounding potentially negative about it, but I'm sure a lot of people have these thoughts.
EDIT:
Also, is it possible to deactivate the scoreboard for the duration of the event and show the results AFTER the event? It's way to easy to get the names of the smugglers.
EDIT2: The LN-guard NPCs make entering Z21 VERY troublesome without cloak.
